When you get around to the US Navy Basic Electracy book you will find it very helpful. There is also a Basic Electronics book. I was an Electronics Technician in the US Navy and used these two book as school text books. They were superseded by the Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS Modules). I read through these books many times. All of the 23 NEETS modules are available online.
YES! I have the Basic Electricity book. It's terrific. The only downside, which isn't that bad, is the military manual writing style. I have to be in the mood to read it, usually. But the upside of that is It's easy to understand. It was written for training military personnel with only a HS diploma. A good bit of it I've already learned from many other places, but I feel it's very comprehensive for a book on "basic" electricity.
While I wouldn't recommend Horowitz and Hill as a first foray in the field of electronics, it would be possible for someone with a sufficient background in basic physics to follow along the text provided one actually goes through all of the experiments and exercises. So, two things to note: one needs to to procure the lab-book that is the companion to this book (I think in the 3rd edition there may be even a second companion volume, I forget what for) and thus it will be a very slow process--which is a good thing. While it will take ages to go through the book, one does not need to cover all the chapters for a basic electronics understanding. Also (a third note), while the book will give the reader an understanding of the basic building blocks, and then some, this do not automatically translate into an ability to read and an immediate understanding of every circuit diagram out there. Understanding the many variations of combining the same basic building blocks and recognizing them into the maze that is a circuit diagram is another skill that is acquired with practice and that means reading many circuit diagrams and inspecting the actual built circuits, starting from simple ones and progressing to more complex ones.
Well, I am proud of how you are coming along. I remember buying lots of books years ago also. Right now I am planning on getting back into web programming because parts of my site the use sql are not working. The hosting service insisted that I upgrade my site from php 5.3 to php 7 or 8. Last time I tried to do that things crashed, but I was able to switch back. So this time I tried again and things crashed, but because they no longer support php5 there was no link to switch back. I am waiting for them to decide what to do :) Thanks for the video and God bless you.
It's pleasure to watch your video. It's some kind of ASMR:) And length of the video is perfect for me. I'm so tired of endless 3 hours videos and millions of shorts. I like electronics too. I'm gonna spent more time on this hobby. Things that have been spoken in this video were useful for me. And I'm agree about online courses. It's very important to learn on your own. Thank you.
Mark it seems like with such a passion for electronics and flight, quadcopter building and flying would be right up your alley! Have you ever looked into fpv drones? You would master it in no time!
I actually briefly got into quads back when you had to build your own if you wanted one. There was a lot of opensource software and shared information in the RC forms before you could buy one at a store. I could never get into them as I don't like how they fly compared to RC airplanes. I also thought they were too easy to fly compared to RC helicopters which I enjoyed at the time. I actually thought about starting a company making them but knew some Asian company would eventually get into it. My dad got into drones back when it started to become hard to fly RC planes in parks. He loves them and posts videos on UA-cam regularly. He is MrKentDotCom who also commented on this video. Be sure to let me know if you have any tax questions or want a second opinion on anything. I'm still happy to help I just think you need someone local.
At the end it's really up to the preference of a teacher or a student. I learned the fundamentals of electronics through Pearson's textbook series. This huge new world is organized, imo brilliantly by Thomas Floyd, and the current curriculum textbooks do a great job of bringing together a well structured and digestible material. Beyond that when getting into more specific and higher order electronics that focuses on design and practical use than a steadily updated community standard which works doubly as a reference book should be more sought after. In the modern day, I think besides having certain overall course structural preferences, all modern textbook publishers (ie Pearson, Prentice Hall, Springer, Cambridge, McGraw Hill, Oxford, etc) do a good job of delivering to adequate course material.
My first book on electronics was one of his books I purchased from Radio Shack back in the late 1970s. After making that video, I found those old Radio Shack books online. They are a great way to learn.
AR - DU - INO The D comes after the R Funny fact, the 2nd edition of AoE has some extra "what went wrong in this circuit" sections, and one or two other things the 3rd deleted, that I personally would've preferred be kept around in the 3rd. So both 2nd and 3rd editions are ones to keep, if you have them. IMSAI Guy has one or two vids on them.
Have you, by chance, read Electronic Principles by Albert Malvino? I've been told it's a game changer. Apparently, his explanation of theory is incredible.
@Mark Gunnison Good for you! And good luck! That's how I came up.. Private to ATP... As for aviation books, have you read Stick and Rudder? Probably the best explanation of flight ever written and HIGHLY recommended. It's been in print for nearly 80 years! If you're interested in a great conceptual approach to aerodynamics, check out Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamics by Hubert "Skip" Smith. You can find both on the used market for cheap.. Good luck!
@@boeing757pilot Yes, I read Stick and Rudder years ago. I learned to fly in a tailwheel - an old Cessna 170A. I currently have a Mooney M20B. Flying is just a fun hobby for me like electronics.
I am from India and have a huge interest in Electronics but unfortunately none of these books are available in India and if some store are selling it then the import duties + shipping prices are just too much its 3 times the rent that I pay and I can't afford that much money at once and I don't know anyone who could get it for me from foreign countries , I checked with almost all libraries and many bookshops but can find nothing , and no Indian books on electronics are even worth buying , so yeah don't know what to do now
You could download PDF of the books. The PDFs are available on internet, you just have to find them. And in my case, my college library has these books. I have issued the art of electronics from my college 2-3 days back, and today I'm watching the video :)
In the public CPA profession when someone retires, they sell their clients to younger CPAs in the firm. If I were to refuse to retire, the younger CPAs would go someplace else. I need to give them a change to share in the profits. I will continue to work for them part time for many years so maybe I'm not really retiring 🙂
UA-cam is not cheap.
Ordered this one today:
Basic Electronics Theory With Projects and Experiments 4th edition.

Thank you for the heads up, looks like a great resource.
Any links or website to download the books

How can I get it?? Please help

"Bebop to the Boolean Boogie" - best book on semiconductors and circuits

I had the same problem a year ago. I just sent you an email how I fixed all my SQL requests in my PHP code.

Do you have any book recommendations for a shop Projects
Art of electronics, found it on eBay $22 Ty
What about Forest M. Mims III books They are Great IMHO!
My first book on electronics was one of his books I purchased from Radio Shack back in the late 1970s. After making that video, I found those old Radio Shack books online. They are a great way to learn.
@@markgunnison I bought books at Radio Shack when they were closing and have since bought CDs with his books on them also Thriftbooks has some books.
For me as a noob the best book is "Electricity One-Seven".

I will have to check it out. I'm always looking for something interesting to read.
@@markgunnison Sounds good! Enjoy. Thanks for your book recommendations..

Do not retire from your profession. Work as long as you are capable. Reduce the hours if you have to and take more holidays if you desire.
In the public CPA profession when someone retires, they sell their clients to younger CPAs in the firm. If I were to refuse to retire, the younger CPAs would go someplace else. I need to give them a change to share in the profits. I will continue to work for them part time for many years so maybe I'm not really retiring 🙂

You’re not retiring just doing semi retirement.
